The Bachelor
of Arts in Film and
Audio- Visual
Communication
program is the
youngest academic
program in CMC.
Established by the
Board of Regents in
1984, it is the only
degree program in
the Philippines that
offers a four-year
BA Film and
Audio-Visual
Communication
course.
The program aims to
contribute to the
development of a
genuinely Filipino
national cinema by
producing graduates
with a well- rounded
liberal arts
education as well as
creative and
technical skills and
social
responsibility.
Meanwhile, the MA
Media Studies (Film)
program acknowledges
the extensive impact
of immense popular
appeal. The program
provides Filipino
scholars with a
means of closely
inspecting and
evaluating film as a
complex social,
cultural and
industrial
phenomenon. It also
focuses on the study
of film vis-a-vis
the increasingly
urgent issues of
globalization and
new media
technologies. It
seeks to instill
increased
professionalization
in Philippine film
practice and upgrade
local film
scholarship. The
program's courses
operate on the
principle of praxis,
wherein theory
courses are tempered
by the possibilities
of real-life
applications, and
production courses
draw from and return
to philosophical
issues in the
conception and
evaluation of
projects.
